Italy v England | Euro 2020 Final

What will the result be?


  • Total voters
    396
  • Poll closed .
25 minutes of great football, harrowing, chances, a goal and then 65 minutes of defending against an average team. Cue extra time, a defensive mid for a defensive mid, cue penalties...bring on the hop skip and jumpers and let saka go 5th? Where were the other players who should have stepped up?
Just about sums it up.
Have to say Raz should have stepped up.
 
Southgate waited too long to react when italy had them pinned back, and his selections for pens were rubbish, Rashford has taken several pens before so that was fine, but Sancho ? Saka ? the other two takers imo should've been Walker who should not have come off, and Calvert-Lewin who should've been there instead of Sancho.
Sancho has taken and scored quite a few penalties for Dortmund.
 
Oh and to the other 28 people who voted Italy on pens.

Well done. I also wish I'd backed it at the bookies.
 
That’s a fair point, I'd always favour a specialist over a "rookie".

I've just remembered that OGS's penalty tactics actually did work as it was De Gea that missed and not any of the players he brought on in the Europa league.

Hard to score against Donnarumma when he is a giant of a man.

Two saves from both keepers. Pickford was excellent in the shootout. Rashford's miss was the difference.
And Sancho and Saka. All too young to take penalties. And not making changes early in the 2nd half when we getting fucked by Italians (which my ex knows a lot about).
 
Shocking.a manager wasting this abundance of talent .

you are to blame Southgate 100%

we are 1 up and you literally wanted to bring on more defenders all game, we had no out ball all game

kane , mount and sterling shocking all game you did nothing to change it

trying to defend a 1 nil lead from 3 minutes .

bringing on 2 specialist penalty takers at the end both of who missed the pens.

allowing a kid to take the crucial penalty when grealish, and sterling still on the pitch .

conference manager in a suit.
